I've sort of been hovering around the edges for years. I've got a frien who's a oderately well known Jungle DJ and I used to be involved in the Industrial/Goth scene. I also spend a lot of time with 18-21 year olds, many of whom are into dance or electronica. As for myself, I like Electronica (I'm not as big on dance) but it's only one of my many musical interests and not a primary one. > >> Most people buying records today are doing it because the latest >> remixes's and tracksare only available in 7" or 12" form from stores. >> A lot of dance music is only ever released in MP3/AAC and 7" or 12" >> Vinyl forms with no CD release at all > > i'm trying to imagine what the analogy would be in photography ... > > kind of a kooky idea, but how about a TLR which shoots film *and* digital? > I'd actually say much of the current film world is similar. Most shoot a combination of digital and older manual focus film, AF film is mostly dead (and the equivalent of CD's, newer, high-tech, lacking the tactile niceties of the odler tech). -- M.
